Happy Father's Day

To all beloved Fathers 

Words are not enough to say thank you

May the blessings of love of our Heavenly Father be yours

 in abundance this Father's Day and always


Heavenly Father, you entrusted your Son Jesus, the child of Mary, to the care of Joseph, an earthly father. Bless all fathers as they care for their families. Give them strength and wisdom, tenderness and patience; support them in the work they have to do, protecting those who look to them, as we look to you for love and salvation, through Jesus Christ our rock and defender.  Amen.
